>> is that because of danny. >> a combination of things. >> is danny different than daniel, do you think? like will hey say it was hurricane daniel. >> i think danny, dan, daniel, e. s might be er he's on your right side of the screen. for hurricane centers, they've been monitoring this and gave us an update and the latest is it's showing signs of further intensification. winds 65 miles per hour. the center of circulation is on the west side of the storm, so the main thunderstorm activity is still blowing off to the north and to the northeast. and that tells us, this is not the healthiest tropical storm in the world, but water temperatures off to the north and west are generally running in the low 80s. so there is some fuel for the storm. and if it can get rid of the wind sheer is may intensify over the next 24 hours or so. let's push on and i'll give you the latest information with

tropical storm danny. the information is that it is currently moving to the north and west at about 13 miles per hour. so it's picking up speed. maximum winds at 60 miles per hour with gusts close to 70. notice the track here over the next couple of days. it will be critical on how it impacts washington weather and over the next 24-36 hours, by about saturday morning it will be parked off shore off the lower east earp shore perhaps as a category one hurricane. so pretty much guaranteed along coastal areas we're going to have a strong storm surge and it's possible we could see flooding rains not too far from the washington area. so we have to watch this carefully. it will not become a major hurricane and should keep moving, so the rain will -- should taper off by saturday afternoon or saturday night. but any time you have a hurricane in the neighborhood you have to keep a close eye on the moshings. 83 degrees right now in downtown washington. 80 out in baltimore. 85 now in fredericksberg so

we're starting the process warming up very quickly in the morning sunshine. the humidity is up a little bit as well. you'll probably notice that it feels just a little bit more humid for you as you head out the door this afternoon from yesterday. here is our cold front. and you can see, it's not very impressive. just a couple of light rain showers associated back towards pittsburgh. some of the energy and some of the cloud cover will drop down into the washington area later today. so we'll go with a partly cloudy afternoon, with a chance for a scattered shower or a thunderstorm into the late afternoon and during the evening hours and then the front will hang up around here tomorrow. so we'll have more chances for rain showers during the day on friday. here is your forecast, partly cloudy skies, scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms. probably isolated thunderstorms, maybe a 10-20% chance and so again most of us will remain dry and humid conditions expected. high temperature 89 degrees. scattered showers and thunderstorms a possibility during the evening hours and humid overnight. 70 for an overnight low. let's talk about the weekend.

i know people want to get outdoors and it's one of the last weekends of summer and i can't offer any guarantee it's will be dry. with danny passing to east and i strong cold front coming through toward the end of the weekend, we have lots of opportunities for rain. won't rain all weekend but the temperatures will be cooler. upper 70s and low 80s. and i don't think it will rain all weekend. i had to put up a shower or thunderstorm for each day until we can fine-tune this forecast a little bit. >> temperatures looking good though. >> thanks, tucker. and fly high this weekend without leaving the ground. >> holly is up next with how you n do that by visiting a . cal airport. re. it right here. we are back in 3 minutes.
